3M Ammonia Filter 6059 for 6000 7000 Series Respirators

The 3M Ammonia Filter 6059 is a gas and vapour filter for 3M 6000, 6500 and 7000 series half‑ and full‑face respirators. Classified ABEK1, it provides protection against organic vapours (with boiling point above 65°C), inorganic and acid gases, and ammonia and its derivatives. The filter uses a counter‑balanced, streamlined design and a trapezoidal shape to reduce perceived weight and to preserve a wide field of vision when fitted to a compatible mask.

Advantages

The 6059 offers ABEK1 protection and complies with EN 14387:2004 +A1:2008. It is lightweight, has low breathing resistance and a balanced form factor when attached by bayonet fittings. The bayonet connection allows quick, secure attachment to compatible 3M half‑ and full‑face masks. The trapezoidal shape helps maintain a broad field of view during use.

Suitable for

• Vehicle and aircraft manufacture, repair and refurbishment
• Refrigeration equipment manufacture and maintenance
• Use or manufacture of inks, dyes, adhesives, resins, varnishes and paints
• Spraying and handling agrochemicals
• Electrolytic processes, acid cleaning, metal pickling and etching

How to use

Fit the 6059 filter to a compatible 3M half‑ or full‑face respirator using the bayonet connection until it clicks into place. Ensure a correct seal of the respirator on the wearer’s face by performing a fit check according to the mask manufacturer’s instructions. Replace the filter when breathing resistance increases noticeably, when breakthrough of contaminants is suspected, or according to workplace exposure limits and safety guidance.

Usage recommendations

Use the 6059 only with compatible 3M masks that use bayonet fittings. Choose a full‑face respirator where eye protection from vapours or splashes is required. Follow all workplace safety procedures, perform fit testing, and replace filters as recommended for your particular exposure and duration of use.
